A junior engineer, who works for a small engineering firm in Cocoa Beach. The firm focuses mostly on NASA projects.Neil is Jean’s best friend. When Jean was turned into a genie, Neil somehow became Jean’s master.

First, this is exactly the way male Jean would act. He can dish it out, but she can’t take it.

Second, Jeanie has absolutely no concern for the havoc she causes in Neil’s life, or anyone’s life. She’s willing to throw away Neil’s job over stuff she did–right up to the point where it might cost her something, the trip to Vegas.

Jean is borderline sociopathic. For Jean without the cute packaging, see Rayne in “Least I Could Do”.

Don’t forget Jean did seem to be willing to go through with the date right up until she realized she was his third choice AND got insulted to boot. I know if I’d shown up and got insulted like that I’d really want to leave rather than put myself through the date. In her case though she had a ready made replacement in his first choice of the brunette.

Its also a little harsh to call her a sociopath for trying to give her friend/master a lunch AND blame her for Aracelli’s actions. After all given her self absorbed nature she probably didn’t realize that delivering a lunch to Neil would be a problem and I think if your honest most of us in her position would have messed up somehow (huge book of new rules) and been sent for training (assuming it wasn’t going to happen even if we didn’t) during which time a replacement would be arranged.

Me, I went on many dates (I was “The Blind Date King”) and I made it clear up front to the gal I had just met: “I don’t intend to paw you, or try to get into your pants, I’m a respectful guy…We’re on this guy’s dime tonight, so let’s have a blast, bowling, mini-golf or a movie, pizza after, and just talk and have fun.” The majoirity of them that I was with, I would have enjoyed seeing again, tho mostly they were third-wheels from out of town. I’m sure a few would have liked to see me again. Too bad we didn’t have email back then, things would have been much different…*sigh*

Yo, CD, thanks for the bonus comic this week, if ya feel up to it, I think it’d make a fun regular thing! Great work!!!

Neil got himself into this one. If anyone needs rescuing at this point, it’s gonna be the poor shlep that thinks he’s got a date with Nelly. Hopefully, shortly after Nelly applies a firm and insistent knee to his nether regions and before Jeannie starts in on him as well.
